V This invention relates tobed spring supports, particularly to a support for carrying the bed springs in wooden bedsteads.

Asis well known theusual wooden bedstead has uprightwooden side bars extending. along the sides of the bed and connect-' ing the head and foot portions of the bed stead, and it is common practice to support the'spring by fastening wooden strips along.-

the lower part of the inside wallof these upright bars by means of screws or other means, and then placing slats crossways of thebedstead resting at their opposite ends onthese strips. The bed spring frame rests directly on these slats. However, these are" unsatisfactory and a great'deal of trouble is experienced by the slats breaking or dropping off the strips, and the strips themselves break off or become loosened from the side bars. To overcome these objections we have devised metal brackets or supports which positively engage over the upper edges of the side bars of the Wooden bed and are so supported at their lower ends that there is no danger of their yielding or giving away Referring to the accompanying drawings in which we have shown. one embodiment of our invention,
